Dinner
This place deserves all the hype. they have a picture of daniel craig on the wall (autographed, by the way) and upon reaching our table and ordering we were served promptly.

Our food was delectable, the only thing that amazed me more than that was the size of the pepper grinder.
But the real star was our server, Wasa.
Like genuinely, I’m never gonna forget him for the rest of my life.
He’s super funny and iconic, with excellent and efficient service to match.
It was a great experience dining here and Wasa’s the goat.

SPECIAL OYSTERS

This week we are running a special at Buster Crabb.
Marlborough farmed oysters.
Large and very tasty. Extremely well priced.

I've personally tried them 3 times now and they continue to impress. It's a hard job sometimes.

SPECIAL

SLOW COOKED BRISKET
Seasoned to perfection with a smokey sweet rub. Then served in a premise made chargrilled flatbread, with pickled cucumber, onion and radish. Normally comes with a fresh coleslaw but I swapped that out for fries.

All this for only $24.50
Also available in the evenings.

Our Airbnb host recommended this restaurant, and we had dinner here last night. The food was absolutely amazing!
The steak with mushroom sauce was a real standout—incredibly tasty and definitely lived up to its name, 'Choker'.

The battered oysters were great too. We truly loved every dish. The service was top-notch as well; Wasa was incredibly kind, friendly, and patient with all the customers, which is a rare and precious find nowadays! Highly recommend!
